    When the power creep of One Piece devil fruit got too much, they just introduced Haki. Anyone who trains hard enough can do it at a base level, they even eventually broke the full mcguffin of sea prism stone eventually with training and determination.

    I’m 100% with you. We don’t need mcguffins we need grit! Which are still kinda mcguffins…

      I was literally thinking of that!

      It makes a lot of sense to me. If you are just a low level schmuck of course you might need a magic sword or some sort of specific macguffin to bypass immunities. But once you hit level 10 you are reaching superhuman level. You’ve likely killed hordes of undead already. Might as well say you mastered the technique of the spirit tailor cut to deal with those spooky-wooky bedsheet ghosts. Unless you are fighting higher beings, trifling things like incorporeality should be beneath your concern.

      D&D is not like Call of Cthulhu where you are facing things you have no hope to even comprehend, it’s to go from a feeble villager to a mighty hero of legend!
